This education course is recognised for the ECA GMP Certification Programme „Certified Quality Control Manager“. Please find details at www.gmp-certification.eu
Qualification and Validation in an uncertain analytical world – a holistic approach
Learning Objectives
The objectives of this Education Course are to offer practical solutions for determining the �validation characteristicsto learn how to deal with measurement uncertainty �and to understand its impact on analytical methods validationto discuss the scope of validation necessary to obtain �approval by the Registration Authorities (EMA, FDA, MHRA, etc.)to become familiar with the statistical parameters to �be appliedto understand the qualification of laboratory equip- �ment as a precondition of reliable analytical testingto outline the documentation (SOPs, Validation �Protocols and Reports, etc.) which you should have in your lab.
In order to improve the understanding and practical ap-plication of the contents of the lectures, workshops will be part of the training course.
Background
Guideline Q2(R1) lists all characteristics to be considered during validation and describes the method of determin-ing the various validation characteristics. Reliable analyti-cal results do not only require validated test procedures but also the use of analytical equipment qualified for its intended purpose. In order to obtain the FDA investiga-tor‘s approval, the qualification of all critical laboratory equipment should be performed in standard IQ/OQ/PQ format. Furthermore, measurement uncertainty is of key importance in analytical instruments qualification as well as in analytical methods validation and transfer. Therefore it is absolutely essential that measurement un-certainty is well understood by everybody who is re-sponsible for generating and evaluating analytical results in GMP controlled laboratories.
Target Audience
This interactive Education Course will be of particular in-terest to Laboratory Managers, Supervisors and Analysts in pharmaceutical quality control departments who have responsibility for the validation of analytical test proce-dures. Furthermore, this Course is designed for person-nel from Quality Assurance, Regulatory Affairs and Con-tract Laboratories.

Dr Xaver SchrattLAT GmbH Dr. Tittel, Graefelfing/Munich, GermanyDr Schratt studied Chemistry at the University of Bay-reuth, where he specialized in HPLC and HPLC/MS. In 2005 he joined LAT and since 2006 he is head of depart-ment R & D 2. In charge of national and international pharmaceutical companies he manages all analytical as-pects of projects from preclinical stage up to phase III and post market approval. As an expert for chromatogra-phy and mass spectrometry he mainly focuses on meth-od development, validation and qualification of refer-ence substances.
Social Event
On 24 April 2012, you are cordially invited to a social event. This is an excellent opportunity to share your experiences with colleagues from other companies in a relaxed atmosphere.
Workshops
During the course 5 workshops will be conducted in order to deepen the content of the lectures and to discuss practical aspects in detail. Workshops will be offered on the following topics:
Analytical Instrument QualificationThe participants will outline requirements for the qualification steps for a HPLC system.
Validation PlanThe participants will work on testing schedules for the relevant validation parameters.
Method TransferThe participants will discuss practical details of an Analytical Methods Transfer.
Validation documents critiqueThe participants will work, in detail, on a typical case study proposing a suitable program of work for a valida-tion dossier.
Qualification of a Reference Standard against USP & Ph.Eur StandardsTypical problems of in house reference standards qualification against different pharmacopoeia reference standards will be discussed
